THE Philadelphia Inquirer says !:
IF man points an 'unloaded gun at
you, knock him down immediately"
This is excellent advice, and we trust
it will be universally followed. In Geor-
gia, and in several other States, it is a
misdemeanor to point a deadly weapon
at a person. Such should be the law
everywhere. But every man should be
a law unto himself in this matter. 1t
is perfectly right to resent such practi-
cal jokes as are played with firearms,
whether they be loaded or unloaded.
These silly tricks do not always end
fatally, but they constitute ample pro-
vocation for square knock down.
When you find yourself face to face
with a man who insists on 'playing
with you in this manner don't stop to
argue with him. Knock him down !

A WISE POLICY.

The annual convention of the Mary
lad State Temperance Alliance which
assembled at Baltimore this week, and
a report of the proceedings of which
will be found in this issue of THF
WHTG, was a noticeably successful one
The number of accredited delegates
, was larger than ever before, the pro-
ceedings were harmonious, the spea-
ches vigorous and well tempered, and
the resolutions dignified, yet emphatic.
We believe the good influence cf the
convention will be felt all over the
State, and a renewed impulse be given
the friends of prohibition, in the work
of cYstalizing popular sentiment in
favor of constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture, lmporta-
ton or sale OF alcoholic beverages
within the limits of Maryland. We are
glad the convention re affirmed the
non sectarian and non partizan char
acter of the alliance. This it has done
in the fourth resolution viz:
That in order to achieve sue
cess in the great work of securing con-
stitutional prohibition it is essential
that all our forces be united. This
alliance, being non seCtarian and non
partisan, and representing as it does
all classes of temperance people, urges
that in the great struggle that is i'm
pending in this state all citizens of
every party should unite in earnest and
persistent effort to secure it. We,
therefore, appeal to the patriotism and
intelligence of the people and ask that,
without regard to party, race or creed,
they consecrate their energies to the
accomplishment of this benehcent re-
form.
The history of temperance reform
in Cecil county, as elsewhere, amply
demonst; ates the wisdom of avoid
ing at least for the present. any
political complication or entangle-

WHILE oranges can be bought for
such trifirg sums, they should be on
the breakfast table in every home.
The habit of eating fruit certainly
should be encouraged in all, and es-
pecially IN older children. 1t is said
of the orange, that it Is one OF the
most useful and agreeable of common
fruits. 1t is exceedingly grateful and
refreshing to the palate, and, in the
ripe state, it is so little likely to occa
sion disorder as to be admissible under
almost every condition, both of sick
ness and of health. This is quite true
OF the juice of the fruit, but the fibrous
partitions are much more slowly acted
upon by the digestive fluids, and
should be rejected by invalids suffering
from gastric or intestinal irritations.-

The annual epidemic of suicides is
earlier than usual this year. Every
daily paper you read contains the story
of one or perhaps of several, pictured
with all their sickening details. They
are generally most numerous in mid
summer, the oppressive heat which in
this climate frequently prevails during
that season tending to mental, oppres-
sion and disorders. Like death, how
ever, the mania for self destruction, can
claim all seasons for its own.

ment. The objective point OF the
wsest local leaders in the temper
ance reform, is to harmonic and con-
solldate temperance sentiment. There
has been in this county, as in every
other county in the State, a wide dl-
versity of opinion among temperance
men as to the best method of meeting
what all concede to be most impor-
,ant public que stion.
How shall we best treat the liquor
question: The reduced majority for
prohibition in Cecil county over that
easily obtained tor local option fairly
represents this disparity of sentiment
among people practically opposed to
rum, and answers that question.
BY positive prohibition.
True.
But by what method to be obtained !?
BY the intelligent public discussion
of the importance of a prohlhitory
amendment, and the enlistment in its
behalf of all classes of temperance peo-
pie, without regard to party, race or
creed.
The conclusion then is an intelligent
one, that in any we'll directed temper
ance reform effort, legislative work
confined necessarily to State lines must
precede, and antedate, that of wider or
national scope. Majorities are to be Sc
cured in State Legislatures, by domi-
nance of local sentiment as an abso-
lutely necessary condition, precedent to
a natl )nal contest.
1t is true, as remarked by one of
our Baltimore exchanges, that in a GER
tain sense prohibition or temperance is
a political issue. The saloon is most
powerful political factor, and it follows
by all the rules of logic that the oppos-
ing element of prohibition must be a
political factor also. But where pro-
hibltion has shown its weakness is
striking before the iron is hot-in put
ting up weak men on national plat
forms IN allowing candidates to be
put up for Republican Congressional
districts who are shrewdly suspected
or openly charged with being 'run" by
the whisky men connected with some
Democratic ring. Every such charge
is a heavier blow to prohibition than a
score of mere defeats, because if only
one in ten of such accusations prove
to be well founded the truth of the
rest is sure to be assumed. 1t is be-
cause we desire to see prohibition final
and absolute all over Maryland, that
we commend the wisdom of the State
Temperance Alliance, in projecting
and maintaining the question of pro-
hibitory amendment apart from, and
outside OF national, state, county, or
municipal politics.

GUILTY, ALL OF THEM.

The Chicago Omnibus BOOtIIer Case Re.
suits i'm the Conviction of the Entire Lot
on TriaI-The Penalties.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Shortly after three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon Judge janet
son finished his instructions to the jury in
the big boodler case, and they retired to
consider their verdict. The court took a
recess until half-past six O'Clock, but at
that time when Judge Jameson returned
to the bench the jury was not ready to re-
port. The judge, lawyers, defendants and
a crowd of people filling the courtroom
waited patiently until a few minutes be-
fore nine O'Clock, when the jury returned
and announced that all the defendants had
been found guilty as charged.
Great excitement was caused in the court
by the announcement, though the verdict
had been expected by even the dnost san
guine of the boodlers and their friends.
The jury were polled, and then it was an
nounced they had awarded penalties to
the defendants as follows: Leyden, Van
Pelt, Wren, Wasserman, Ochs, McClaugh-
rey and Varnell, two years each in the
penitentary; Getz, Oliver, Casselman and
Mccarthy ST 900 fine each, but no imprison-
ment. Notice of a motion for a new trial
was given, and the court adjourned. The
boodlers were taken in charge by Sheriff
Matson and conveyed to the county jail.
